several hours, some even pulling an “all-nighter.” Meals are informal with
“marathon,” where “hack” is used in the
participants often subsisting on foods like pizza and energy drinks. Sleeping
sense of exploratory development, not
can be informal, too, with some hackers catching a few zzzs in sleeping

THE ISSUE
It is generally acknowledged that there
is a lack of diversity of all types (gender,
race, age, background, physical ability,
etc.) that could provide many benefits
for organizations seeking to advance
reliability and asset management.
THE CONCEPT
Hackathons have typically been aimed
at technology; however, we think this
collaborative concept can work to ad-
vance all diversity possibilities, some of
which may be technology-based, others
not.
Produced by the names you trust.

initial work completed.
